Calendar Girls

SUNSHINE Coast women feature on stage and on the page in The Lind's production of the popular play Calendar Girls and in a special fundraiser for Queensland Cancer Council.

Calendar Girls is based on a true story of a group of dynamic women who bare all - or nearly all - for charity and become international celebrities.

As a result of sales of their alternative Women's Institute Calendar and due to the popularity of the film and the play, the many Calendar Girls over the years have raised more than $8 million for Cancer Research.

With Andrew Clasohm, of Creative Persona Photography, The Lind's ladies have produced a delightful calendar, on sale before each show, with all profits going to Queensland Cancer Council.

Performances are at The Lind, Nambour, from November 10-18.
